One of the most chilling things my blue check family-member said to me is, "The Internet is a cesspool!" It's no great stretch to see the same logic applied to a library or to a bookstore, yet I'm certain he still considers himself as upholding the best liberal ideals of decency and fair-play. Such is the power of propaganda.

Of course, this disappearing act is nothing new. It's been going on for years for those of us who criticize Israel's apartheid government.
